From Findagrave contributor Virginia D.:

Was a surveyor who surveyed the present site of Columbus, Ohio, while it was still a dense forest; and part of the city now occupies his old farm, as does the cemetery which received its name, Greenlawn, from his wife.

From "The King Family of Suffield, Connecticut", compiled by Cameron Haight King, 1908
